KATHRINE FREKKER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF 'IO PETER HANSON, OF SAME PLACE.

WINDOW-REFLECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,624, dated July 12, 1887. Application filed September 27, 18 86. Serial No. 214,017. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, KATIIRINE FREKKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vindow-Retieetors, of which the following is a specification, to wit:

This invention relates to an improvement in window-reflectors; and it consists in certain peculiarities of the construction and arrangement of the same, substantially as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention pertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and use, referring to the ac companying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical transverse section ofthe same, and Fig. 3 a horizontal section.

The object I have in view is to construct a frame of mirrors provided with means for supporting it outside of a window, and the mirrors arranged at such an angle as will allow of persons seated in the room seeing in the glass a reflection of what is passing .in the street. To this end I construct a frame or box, a, of suitable size and wider at its outer than at its inner end, being approximately wedge- 0 shaped, as seen clearly in the drawings. The top of this box is slightly beveled each way from its center, as at a, to facilitate the escape of rain, and in either side I place a mirror, b, secured in suitable guides or grooves, b, from 3 5 which they may be drawn at any time to re pair broken glasses or for any other reason.

The rear or inner end of the box is closed by a piece, 0, reniovably secured in place by a staple-like wire, a, passing through eyes 0, formed in the box and also on the piece 0.

I provide the box with extended arms or supports d, which I secure in any desirable way to the window-fra1nc, with the reflector projected out therefromashortdistance. The mirrors, being placed at an angle, are readily seen from within the room, and show, without the trouble of lifting the window or leaning out, all that is passing in the street. The retlector is made ornamental in appearance, and

its double-inclined top protects the glasses 5ov from the weather and quickly drains off any rain or water that may fall upon it.

I am aware that heretofore wimlow-mirrors have been constructed provided with a box or frame and mirrors diverging outwardly and upwardly at angles to reflect objects, and that they have been provided with arms and screw shafts and nuts; but I do not claim the same, broadly.

What I do claim, and desire to secure by (,0 Letters Patent, is-

In a windowreflector, the box a, formed with the double-pitehed top a and provided with the supporting-arms d, in combination with the mirrors b, their guides b, and the re movable piece a, all constructed and arranged for operation substantially as and for, the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
